You will have more overhead than you think. 1) You will need a commercial applicators license. It is required in every state. If you spray for hire you have to have the license.
2) You will need insurance to cover you for liability. What happens if you spray the wrong chemical on a crop and kill the crop?? You have to have insurance to cover that. I checked into it 5-6 years ago. The insurance then was over $25,000 per year. This is a big reason you only see larger Coops doing custom spraying.
I will second what Clodbuster stated. These type of sprayers are just used when crops are fairly short in height. You seem to be doing a folular feeding type of fertilizer deal. How are you going to spray the corn after the first 30 days or so when it is too tall for this sprayer to get through?
So I think that with the cost of the sprayer and all the other overhead you are going to be spending a lot of money. The sprayer and insurance will drive the break even sky high.
